In India, buying gold is not just a purchase—it’s an emotion, an investment, and a symbol of trust. Whether you’re buying jewellery for weddings, savings, or gifts, purity matters most. A gold jewellery hallmark assures that your gold is genuine and certified by the government. Every piece you buy from reputed jewellers like Dream Ticket Pvt Ltd under their Gold Jewellery Subscription Plan carries this hallmark of trust and purity.

What Is a Gold Jewellery Hallmark?

 

A gold jewellery hallmark is an official mark that certifies the purity and fineness of gold. In India, this process is regulated by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). When you see a BIS hallmark on a gold ornament, it means the item has been tested and verified for purity at an authorized hallmarking centre.

This small mark holds big value—it’s proof that your gold meets national quality standards.
